Maybe it's a cultural difference but this seemed like a potentially fun story, very poorly told. No background, no character development. I feel like I just watched every other scene of a 3 hr movie. 20 minutes in, I wanted to stop but once I start a movie I have to finish. Sadly, I made it all the way to the credits on this poorly executed (for lack of a better word) movie.

The Getaway King/ Najmro is a stylish, fast-moving comic crime-caper that is based on a true story and set in '80s Poland. Directed by Mateusz Rakowicz, and written by Rakowicz and Lukasz M. Maciejewski, The Getaway King positively fizzes and sparkles like a freshly corked bottle of champagne! There is a really strong sense of time and place - Pewex, the psychotic Pruszkow mob - and some cracking performances. Dawid Ogrodnik as Zdzislaw 'Najmro' Najmrodzki, a slick criminal who escaped from police custody no less than 29 times - is roguish charm itself, and the ever- excellent Robert Wieckiewicz plays the grizzled, world- weary cop hell-bent on hunting down Najmro with aplomb. A special mention should also be made of Dorota Kolak's splendid turn as Najmro's irascible mother. All in all, The Getaway King is a smashing film and well-worth checking out.

I knew in the first few seconds this would be a great movie! Absolutely brilliantly put together. Firstly, the casting choice fits perfectly to the story, and loving the cheeky humor, the wardrobe nostalgia, action scenes brilliant and cool slow motion effects, and of course the heated and cheeky romance. Hands down and I don't say it often but this ticks all the boxes and beyond kind of movie. Bravo.
